Bill Walton spoke to a group of about 200 people at the Rialto Theatre in a fund-raising appearance Friday night. No topic was off limits. Even from $60-100 a seat, it was good entertainment. After speaking, Walton played stand-up percussion with a Grateful Dead cover band. He also sang a bit. Walton is a lightning rod like none in college basketball since the early days of Dick Vitale. Unless he gets tired of traveling, I suspect ESPN and the Pac-12 will compete for his services for the next few years.
No topic off limits for Walton
